title: [Malignant neoplasms of the tongue and tonsil-glossal angle from material obtained in the otolaryngology clinic in Bydgoszcz in the years 1981-1994].
abstract: In the period 1981-1994 in the ENT Department, University School of Medical Sciences in Bydgoszcz, 102 patients with malignant neoplasms of the tongue and the tonsillo-glossal angle were treated. The most common group comprised patients diagnosed with "planoepithelial carcinoma" (94 persons). The number of patients with tongue malignancies increased every year. Similarly, increasing of the neoplastic grade was observed. The majority of patients underwent surgery and, in the next step, radiotherapy. We preferred a total tumor excision involving half of the tongue. Often we had to extend surgery to resection of the lateral part of throat and, in situation of extreme penetration of neoplasms, we removed the bottom of oral cavity. We concluded that in patients with malignant neoplasms of the tongue, planoepithelial carcinoma is present in more than 90 percent of cases. The tumors are diagnosed in the late period. On initiation of treatment half of the patients were presenting with T2 tumors. We confirmed infiltration of the tonsillo-glossal angle in half of the patients. Five years survival without tumor recurrence in our material was 26.47%.
